If a remittance to cover a payment required herein to be made prior to a certain time, to avoid a penalty or sale for delinquency, is correctly addressed and sent through the United States mail it shall be treated, for such purposes, as if it had been received on the date and time shown by the post office cancellation mark stamped upon the envelope containing the remittance. Such a payment need not be accepted so as to relieve the assessed property from penalty or sale if the remittance is received more than 30 days after the time fixed for such payment.

Any person, showing evidence by presentation of a duly executed and recorded deed, purchase contract, final decree of court or other legal instrument that any property assessed hereunder is divided into lots or parcels of land the extent of which varies from that of the property, lots, or parcels of land as assessed, who is not the owner of the whole of such property as assessed, may apply to the Board of Public Works to have the assessment amended so that amounts proportioned to the benefits thereto, will be levied against each of such divided and separately owned lots or parcels of land.
The said Board shall grant the application and order the assessment and diagram to be amended accordingly; provided, however, that the entire property must still be subject to the assessment or an installment or a portion thereof, that any part of such property which has been sold for delinquency must be redeemed as provided herein, that the Board is satisfied with the evidence of the division of the property and that, in its opinion, the probability of collecting the full amount will not be impaired and the public interest will be served thereby.
The sum of the amended levies shall equal the total unpaid balance of the original assessment against property plus accrued penalties and costs thereon. The liens of the original levy shall continue as to the amended amounts and parcels, and each of such amended amounts shall be payable either in full or in installments the same as the original assessment or the sums making up the respective amended amounts.

Within 90 days after any assessment becomes delinquent or, if any assessment is payable in installments, within 90 days after the last installment thereof becomes delinquent, the Board of Public Works shall publish not less than two times in a daily or weekly newspaper of general circulation a notice of sale of such properties on which the assessments have not been fully paid. The notice so published shall constitute the delinquent list, and shall contain a description of each such lot or parcel of land at length or by its respective number as it appears upon the assessment and diagram, to which the notice shall refer; the name of the owner as the same appears in the property ownership records of the City Engineer if it so appears, otherwise designating the owner as unknown; the total amount of the assessment, penalties, and costs due, including the cost of advertising for each lot or parcel of land separately assessed; the place, day and hour of sale, which day shall not be less than 20 days from the date of publication of the notice; and a statement that unless the assessments, penalties and costs on any such lot or parcel of land are paid to the Bureau of Engineering prior to the time of sale such lot or parcel will be sold to the City for the said total amount due plus $7.00 for a certificate of sale.
Whenever assessments or installments for two or more improvements hereunder are delinquent and the properties assessed are to be sold therefor on the same date, the required notices of the delinquency and sale of all such properties in each of any number of such assessment districts may be published separately, or may be consolidated where practical.
At any time after such delinquency and prior to the sale any person may pay the assessment, together with the penalties and costs due thereon, including the cost of advertising if such payment is made after publication of the notice of sale.
